Leopold Dukes, Zur Rabbinischen Spruchkunde
Vienna: Gedruckt bei Adalbert della Torre, 1851.
Leopold Dukes published two works on Jewish proverbs: Rabbinische Blumenlese (Leipzig, 1844) and Zur Rabbinischen Spruchkunde (Vienna, 1851). In the copy exhibited here is a letter by Dukes glued at the beginning of the book. It is a dedication letter dated in Oxford 1852 in which Dukes presents his book to Efraim Simson Raus[...], the same person whose signature can be found on the title page of Euchel's biography on Mendelssohn (see next item on display).
